1937 Lincoln LeBaron Series K

I own a convertible that's one of 14, but nobody has ever heard of it and even fewer care. This is the real stuff and it's one of 12. A K series Lincoln (read V-12 engine) with a Lebaron convertible body, that's a four door convertible from the 30's folks. All that and it scored 100 points, not once, but twice at the Classic Car Club of America show as a senior car. Now that's impressive, but so is the car.

So, now do you want to hear about my one of 14? Didn't think so.

VINTAGE CAR RALLY IN BRANSON

June 11 through 15 will be the first "Hemmings-Branson Vintage Car Rally" and with all the teams already signed up it's going to be exciting. With over $60,000 in prize money plus a lot of suprises and a spectacular presentation. This is a time, speed, distance rally run on a "Hub" format where the cars will leave Branson every morning and return every night so they can stay in the same cozy room at the Hilton all week. A great event for cars made in 1948 or earlier and all the while raising money for Autism. If you'd like more information go to Hemmings.com or to Vintage Car Rally Association.com.

1986 Ferrari 328 GTS

You don't have to buy a Hawaiian shirt, wear shorts and grow a mustache to own a 3 series Ferrari, but it wouldn't hurt. What was that guys' name that actually owned Magnum's cars?

Anyway, 3.2 liters, 8 cylinder, 5 speed and the most recognizable Ferrari ever built, and with fuel injection, probably one of the easiest to maintain. This one has all the books, service records, tool pouch and tools and the original jack too. Beautifully detailed, well maintained and for some reason it has a radar detector. It's number 568 in the next Branson Auction at Celebration City April 20 & 21. Hope to see you there!

1962 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible

There were a lot of stunning and extravagant designs from the late 50's and early 60's but none quite as flamboyant as the Imperial Crown Convertible. The individual pod headlights, gun sight rear signal lights, the Imperial Crown emblems, all of them shouting "look at me". When new car introductions were still important I remember the anticipation of seeing the car in person. 45 years later, it's still spectacular.
This particular car (#570 in the auction) has been the recipient of some tender and loving care by someone else who obviously has fond memories of that bygone 60's era.

1958 Corvette "Fulie" in Branson Auction

It's one of the most beautiful and correct 1958 Corvettes we've ever presented with all numbers, date codes and necessary information included. What a beautiful and rare automobile and remember, next year it turns 50. I wish the same could be said for me!

This is but one of several "early" Corvettes being presented this year, so I sincerely hope that if a dream ride of the 50's or 60's was a Corvette in your memory, now is the opportunity.

We're looking forward to seeing all our old friends April 20 & 21 at Celebration City in Branson, MO.
